Trump gets asked if he's invited to the royal wedding, things get super awkward
It's so awkward when you don't know if you've received an invite to the wedding of the year. And, it's even more awkward when you're asked about it during a television interview.
That was the hot water Donald Trump found himself floundering in during his interview with Piers Morgan.
Asked if he'd received an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, Trump replied: "Not that I know of."
He didn't say whether he'd like to go, but said: "I want them to be happy. I really want them to be happy. They look like a lovely couple."
There may, however, be hope yet for Trump's social calendar. According to Brides, it doesn't look like any invites have been sent out to guests just yet, so one could well make its way through his letterbox.
Morgan then chipped in to let Trump know that Markle had called him a "divisive misogynist." "Well, I still hope they're happy," Trump replied.
Do you, Trump? Do you really?
Trump added that his mother had a "great sense of regal" (whatever that means) and "she had a love for the Queen."
"She had a love for the Royal Family. She really respected the Queen, and she loved the pomp and ceremony. The fact is, she loved the UK," he said.
